identify my plant please

Hey all my first post yay,

Right down to business I went to Spain in April an brought back a few random seeds with intentions to see what grew from them. One seed which kind of looked like a bean (kidney shaped an brown) has grown pretty well
.



any help would be great thanks

 

It wasn't a coffee bean was it. :D

 

I would like to see it again when it is bigger , might have more of an idea then.

 

Could it be Carob (Ceratonia siliqua)? Mudcow007, did you see pods (like green beans) hanging on any trees near where you found your seeds?

 

hello all thanks for the replies, this particular seed was alone so i really dont know where i found it (sorry :( i know this makes it harder to work out what it is)

i do rememeber getting seeds out of a dryed out pod but i dont think they germinated.

noticed this morning were leaves have grown from the stem there are mini leaves on the stem if u look closely at my first pic u may notice them?

 

Hello, Mudcow007. The pod you had was probably a Carob. These pods are ground up to make a chocolate substitute. They can be eaten green or brown straight off the tree. The seeds were originally used to weigh gemstones because of their uniformity in size and weight ... diamonds are measured in carats, 200 milligrams, roughly the same size as an average carob seed.

Unless someone else can identify it, we may have to wait until your tree goes somewhat.
